LLC formation services for Oregon booth renters

A formation service files the same $100 Oregon LLC you could file yourself

Every formation service files the same Oregon articles of organization, for the same $100 state fee. What you pay a service for is the preparation, the extras, and what renews after year one.

None of them touch your booth credentials. The independent contractor registration, the certificate renewal and any name filing stay with you. The booth renter registration steps cover those.

If you have not settled whether an LLC is worth it, read sole proprietor or LLC first. Many renters reasonably never form one.

First-year and second-year cost, from each service's own page

Compare the total over two years, not the headline. Almost every general service starts at $0 plus the state fee, so the difference is in what is bundled and what bills again.

For a renter, the registered agent line matters most. Oregon requires an agent with a street address in the state. You can be your own agent at your home address, for free. A service agent keeps your home off the public record, and is usually the thing that renews.

Formation services matched to what a booth renter needs

Each entry below is labelled by the need it fits, not by a score. The list order is presentation only. Every price comes from the service's own published page on the date shown, and none of it is our rating. Prices change, so check the plan page before you pay.

1. Tailor Brands

   Best for first-time founders who have never run a business: the $0 Lite plan covers LLC formation, an operating agreement and annual compliance tools, with paid tiers at $199 and $249 a year. Its Navi assistant tracks your progress and sends reminders for filings and tax deadlines. The bookkeeping trial converts to $39 a month after 30 days unless you cancel. No registered agent is listed on the plans page.

2. Bizee

   Lowest total first-year cost with an agent included: the Basic plan is $0 plus the $100 Oregon fee, and every package comes with one free year of registered agent service, so year one can total $100. The agent renews after the free year, and the plans page does not list that renewal price, so ask before year two.

3. BetterLegal

   Flat price, paperwork done in one step: $299 plus the state fee, with expedited filing, an EIN, an operating agreement and a banking resolution in the package. A renter who wants the EIN and bank documents handled together pays more up front for it. Registered agent service is an add-on rather than part of the price.

4. ZenBusiness

   For renters who want annual reports handled: Starter is $0 plus state fees, and the Pro package at $199, renewing at $199 a year, adds registered agent service and Worry-Free Compliance for annual report filing and alerts. Oregon's yearly LLC report is the deadline renters most often miss, which is what the renewal pays for.

5. LegalZoom

   For renters who want a lawyer on call: the Pro package at $249 plus state fees adds an operating agreement, an EIN and 30 days of attorney consultations, then $49 a month. Useful if you are about to sign a long suite lease. The Basic plan is $0 plus state fees, and registered agent service is a separate $249 a year.

File it yourself through the Oregon Business Registry

You can skip every service. The Secretary of State takes LLC filings online through the Oregon Business Registry, at the $100 state fee, and processing usually starts within one business day.

You name yourself or anyone with an Oregon street address as registered agent. Changing that agent later costs nothing to file. This route is the baseline every price above is measured against: the same filing, the same fee, no one in between.

Watch for the yearly report, whoever files your LLC

Whichever route you pick, the $100 annual report is yours to file every year on the anniversary of formation. Look-alike mail from private companies is not the state.

The Secretary of State warns about these mailings by name and says the real fee is only $100. A service that files the report for you is charging for the reminder and the typing, not a different fee.

Before you choose, total up the yearly booth costs on the booth rental cost breakdown. The LLC is one line on that page, not the biggest one.
